Definition

A Facebook feature that lets you send a cryptic, low-commitment notification to someone without actually saying anything—the digital equivalent of awkwardly waving at someone from across the room. It screams "I want your attention but I'm too anxious to actually message you."

Example Usage

I've been poke-warring with my crush for three days because neither of us is brave enough to actually text.

pee pee

The universally recognized toddler terminology for urination, because apparently "I need to use the restroom" is too advanced for the under-five demographic. It's one of humanity's first euphemisms we learn, right up there with "boo-boo" and "ouchie." Adults using this term are either talking to children or regressing to simpler times.

Mood

A single word used to express that something is deeply relatable to your current emotional state. See a dog sleeping in the sun? Mood. See a raccoon eating garbage at midnight? Also mood. The versatility of this word is matched only by its ability to end a conversation.
